Julian Gallant

Julian Gallant

Chairman

I’m proud to chair the Ealing Business Club, ten years old this December. I want to thank my good friend Trisha Stewart for everything she has done to make this happen.

We’ve kept up our quarterly meetings, building up attendance and gathering insight from a range of speakers. We’ve had invaluable support from our members and sponsors.

Ealing’s business community look beyond the here and now; they make plans for years ahead and they take risks. We help by linking business interests to the community, to customers and to potential investment.

You’ll be very welcome at any of our meetings!
